GMO corn, soy, and potatoes show toxic effects on living animals. The GMO soy (Monsanto’s Roundup-Ready soy) we grow and eat in the US is so toxic that more than half of baby rats fed with the stuff die in just three weeks.
Hey - it's only 85% of the US soy crop, right?
The rest of the planet doesn’t want to eat this crap any more than we do. In the EU and other nations where GM foods are labelled as such, demand is zero. US export markets for rice and corn (maize) have been severely damaged by GM contamination.
To protect the public and organic farmers, four California counties banned GMO crops. Rice farmers in Arkansas and California protected their crops with laws preventing contamination by GMO crops. In fourteen other states, local and or state laws ban GMO’s.
GMO’s banned in part or all of sixteen states - almost a third of the US is protected from mutant food, right?
Not any more – the GMO labs did an end run yesterday in the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry, and the GMO labs won. Sec 123 of the new Farm Bill effectively precludes local control over GMO contamination.
